[opensuse-project] Conference slides
by Martin Vidner 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi all, Thank you for the conference. It was good to meet you in person. Now I have even more projects I would like to work on... I would like to enhance my short reports from the conference (still to be posted) by including the links to the speakers' slides. Ideally they would be linked from http://conference.opensuse.org/schedule/ but that page is not a wiki. So can the speakers please post the links to their slides into this thread? -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/… [View More]

[opensuse-project] Status of initiative on openSUSE LTS/openSLES
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hello Everyone, The voting to choose a name had the following top choices. 1 openSUSE Enterprise Server (OSES) *[1] 2. Geeko Enterprise Linux (GEL) *[2] Geeko Linux Enterpise Server (GLES) *[2] GreenOS (GOS) *[3] 5. SINS Is Not SLES (SINS) *[4] Community Driven Enterprise Linux (CDEL) Community Enterprise Server (CES) Yet Another Enterprise Linux (YAEL) [1] (only available for openSUSE LTS as openSUSE is trademarked) [2] (only available for openSUSE LTS as geeko … [View More]is trademarked maybe use greko instead) [3] (confusion with green as usually enviromentally linked.) [4] (SLES is a possible trademarked) We have two very strong yet divergent groups. OpenSUSE LTS. The people supporting this think we should start with openSUSE 11.2. So there is no real need to do much right now as we still have 18+ months till the community needs to take over this to provide longer term support. openSLES. The people supporting this think we need to get started right now and start with SLES 11. Biggest concern is which license we use could be invalidated by Novell and then access to the updates would become limited or totally unavliable. We have two very strong small groups supporting each. Each group seems to not want to support the other group. My concern is with this fragmentation that there will not be enough trackion to make this succeed. LTS option Currently we do not have enough qualified people to do the work to really do an LTS. But with 18 months till work really needs to be done it is possible to get the needed man power. SLES option It appears we have enough qualified people to do this, but it is going to take a while as there are no funds behind this group at the moment so we would need to use a license from an existing SLES or find someone to donate and purchase a license. It is highly unlikely to have Novell give us a license as, it is seen as taking away $$$ from sales of SLES. So far I have had 80 people respond via the various medium's and there is exactly 40 people that have expressed a clear choice with approxitmitly 20 other people that are following this without expressing a clear preference. Question what do you think we should do next? Will an openSUSE LTS provide a path to SLES or just fill the needs of the openSUSE community in gaining a longer support window. What is the most beneficial to the greater openSUSE/SLES community? Which option is going to be the overall best? What are others opinions on this? -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb(a)zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org [View Less]

[opensuse-project] openSUSE Long Term Support...
by Magnus Boman 18 Sep '09

18 Sep '09

Hi All, I must be missing something here, or it might have been explained but my attention span across the zillions of emails around this topic of creating a new distro is just very bad... For openSUSE 11.1, we will have updates ('support') for 18 months. Those who wants to provide long term support for 11.1, can simply create their own updates. It wouldn't be difficult to create a common repo where people can contribute to patches for this purpose and keep doing that for some 7 years or … [View More]

I will add however that there does seem to be a large amount of commercial appliances using centos. Had an opensles been avaliable three or four years ago, would the situation be different today?
